There are something like 300 million guns in this country. There are roughly 400k-500k crimes using a gun in the country.
Which means that at least 99.86% of guns are completely harmless.
If I were king, I would ban any new gun law. We pass law after law in this country about guns. But in reality none of them are enforced.
We are over-legislated in this country and under enforced.
I'd rather let anyone have a gun who wants a gun. Remove any and all gun laws. Create one new one, and actually enforce it. Any crime committed with a gun gets an additional mandatory 10 (or 3 or 20 or whatever) year sentence added to whatever sentence the judge hands down for the crime.
